On 24th June 1815, the Lancaster Gazetteer reported a warning to those who might fancy the odd bit of sport on a Sunday...
A MONITORY NOTICE,
On a Stone, placed in the Church-yard of Llanfair, in Wales.
Who Ever hear on son day
Will practise playing At Ball.
it May Be be Fore munday
The devil Will Have you All.
